I thought I’d take a moment to reflect this week, as this is the final 2025 edition of the Meridian Source before we print two year-in-review papers.
It’s easy to nitpick and sweat the small stuff, but overall, I’d say it’s been a great year.

I’m excited about 2026 and what it may bring. The team at the Source is running like a well-oiled machine, and Christian, John and I consistently hear positive feedback from the community. Word on the street is that people like what we’re doing, and we’re looking forward to continuing to build trust in the community in 2026.
Things are also on the up-and-up for me personally. I landed a new gig as the drummer for the Kenny Mac Band, and Chels and I decided to postpone a trip to Mexico to save up for a down payment on a home of our own.
Although we didn’t set up a tree this year, our Christmas will be filled with family and friends throughout Alberta.
I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’ll see you all in 2026 for another great year in the Border City.
See you next year!
